There's Power in That. : Discovering the Hidden Energy All Around Us
Overview
There's Power in That. explores a simple but powerful idea: the world around us is filled with energy that is constantly being produced, transferred, and wasted. The challenge facing humanity is not always creating more energy, but learning how to recognize, capture, and use the energy we already generate every day.
From the movement of people walking through buildings to elevators rising and descending, doors opening and closing, vehicles traveling, machines operating, and heat escaping into the environment, countless forms of energy are continuously being released. Much of it disappears unnoticed because we have not yet developed practical ways to collect and reuse it.
Through curiosity and creative thinking, Matthew J. Jordan examines the possibilities of energy harvesting-using existing and emerging technologies to recover small amounts of energy from ordinary activities. The book explores concepts such as kinetic energy systems, smart flooring, regenerative mechanical systems, building-integrated energy recovery, and future technologies that could transform everyday environments into contributors to our energy needs.
This is not a claim that every movement or action can replace traditional power generation. Instead, it is a challenge to rethink how we view energy. The book asks a fundamental question:
What if the things we ignore today could become part of the energy solutions of tomorrow?
At its core, There's Power in That. is about innovation, imagination, and the importance of asking questions. Every major advancement in history began when someone looked at something ordinary and wondered if there was more to discover.
As the author writes:
This book invites readers to look at the world differently-to see hidden possibilities in everyday life and to recognize that sometimes the greatest discoveries begin with simply asking, "What if?"
"Without questions, progress is dead."- Matthew J. Jordan
